So, alcoholic drinks are not the healthiest beverages, but cocktails make a great guilty pleasure. Although alcoholic beverages are not generally considered healthy, they can be made healthier. For example, there are a ton of skinny cocktail recipes online. In addition, opting for fresh juices instead of concentrated mixers may increase the health benefits one might gain from a cocktail.
Likewise, another staple ingredient on any list of “healthier cocktails” is fresh fruit; whether it is muddled berries, cucumbers, lime, lemons, watermelon, oranges, or other, fresh fruit will undoubtedly add a little bit of health to your cocktail.
The next time you are in the mood for a cocktail, consider skipping the “rum and coke” for a healthier alcoholic beverage.
